The new MacBook Pro will begin shipping November 26 with a starting price of £2,399. However, that price can be pushed to well over £5,000 once you begin to spec it up.
This update will surely be welcomed by MacBook Pro fans but the launch of the new machine spells the end of one of Apple’s most popular laptops.
The 15-inch Pro has been a huge success for the US technology firm with it offering a big screen in a portable design.
However, like all good things, the 15-inch MacBook Pro’s reign is coming to an end with the 16-inch replacing it in the official line-up.
No doubt, some retailers will continue to sell this older laptop whilst they have stock but if you head to the Apple Store you won’t find any sign of it.
Speaking about the update, Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac and iPad Product Marketing, said: “Our pro customers tell us they want their next MacBook Pro to have a larger display, blazing-fast performance, the biggest battery possible, the best notebook keyboard ever, awesome speakers and massive amounts of storage, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers all of that and more.
“With its brilliant 16-inch Retina display, 8-core processors, next-gen pro graphics, even better thermal design, new Magic Keyboard, six-speaker sound system, 100Wh battery, up to 8TB of storage and 64GB of fast memory, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is the world’s best pro notebook.”
